1st Reason Joe Simpson believes the Lions will win today

1 hour to kick-off – Number 23 – I can’t hear myself think

The only time I had been to a Detroit Lions home game was when I went to a 1978 Lions vs Packers game when my relative was playing for the Packers (Nate Simpson). The Silverdome was an oversized dump and our seats were awful. So when the strike was settled last summer and it was announced that the Lions would play on Monday Night Football as hated Bears, I immediately purchased tickets (they sold out in one hour). I hadn’t been to Detroit in almost eight years and would take the opportunity to surprise my mother and see friends I hadn’t seen in over 30 years. Top that off with the Detroit Tigers playing Texas for an opportunity to advance to the World Series was mind-boggling good fun. The energy and level of noise during that game is something that I will NEVER forget and in that moment I knew — we can change history, fans and franchise both. Because of this, we WILL win today.
